Income Tax Formula Used
All calculations use the progressive (marginal) tax system official for each country. Only income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. For example, a US taxpayer earning $100,000 (single) does not pay 22% on all $100,000 โ only the portion in the 22% bracket is taxed at 22%. The formula is:
Tax = ฮฃ (each bracket's taxable amount ร bracket rate)
where taxable income = gross income โ standard deduction โ pre-tax deductions.
